Yarko I disagree. Most of our bug reports about new features being tested by users. We use this mailing list not just to provide help about stable version but also to debug trunk version and discuss new features. We also have attracted a lot of non-python programmers who, of course, have questions.
The traffic (measures by number of users, web site hits, messages posted) is important to assess our relative growth. In fact the different measures are strongly correlated. The point is that it cannot be used to compare one project with another. For example the number of posts does not only depend on usage, it also depends on the project size and kind of usage. A project may use a different mechanism than the mailing list for testing and bug report. A project may be very simple and not require a lot of communication. Anyway, I posted the data, anybody can interpret that as they please. I would prefer if we keep discussion to technical issues. If people have concrete examples about things we can do to increase awareness, I am interested.
